Roms Roms Roms

Hi, first of all would like to say this website is a great resource. I am slightly confused over the number of ROMS available. I have a MDA compact 3, its runs WM5. I want to upgrade it to a better ROM. Now which rom in your opinion is the most reliable and looks good? I want WM6, but what is the difference between touch pro and WM6? Is touch built on WM6? And how about the O2 WM6 Premium & PremiumPlus 1.0 WWE??
Can someone just recommend a nice ROM that will allow me to use my TOM TOM and run proficiently.
Many thanks

Hi Seeker,
There is a thread comparing the different ROMS. But iMO you just can't say which one is the best one...depends on you.
Sometimes the developers making full and light editions, it's your choice if you want to use a app-free or app-loaded ROM.
Maybe a look into the threads can help you, in all the first threads there are some screenshots and a short description
about the released ROM.
I tried a lot of the ROMs since now (Fracoon, Tom, Meschle) and i was happy with every ROM.
TomTom is working on all of the ROMS....there is no reason to choose a special ROM just because of TT...
Cheers, Peter

thanks Peter, will have a look. One more question Are all the new roms based upon Windows Mobile 6?

When you're searching in the Artemis WM6 Threads....yes of course

Cheers Pal

...and I think your own experience is better than the impressions of others.
There are always people reclaiming some things in a ROM you maybe
never had a problem with. And hey, a ROM is installed in 10 minutes...
And to say which one is the best isn't objective and unfair against the developer...

Well thanks to this forum and ppl, i have managed to install a new ROM, works like a charm
Im thinking of trying others out. will i have to run the Artemis_USPL again everytime i install a new rom? or is this just required once?
Thanks again

Yes, always run USPL before , otherwise you could brick your device, and that's no fun
Cheers

Cheers, will do!

Dozens of Questions

Greetings,
I know am not supposed to ask questions in a new thread .. but i already posted in the Q&Athread and didnt recieve any replies
I changed my old samsung D840 for an htc hd mini .. i wanted to install apps , modify my software and so on .. but unfortunatly , after buying the mini , it turned out that 95% of the apps doesnt support the hvga screen , no games at all and ofc no themes at all .. imho , a winmo phone that doesnt support anything is totally worthless .. so i exchanged the mini for a used htc touch hd ... and i have been reading tons of guides about roms, radios , spl and so on ... and am a bit confused , and i have dozens of questions to ask , i did use the search function, and no am not lazy to google what i want , but am in desperate need for some answers that i didnt find. so here we go..
1) As for SPL .. i read the whole guide , but i was wondering if USPL is safer than HSPL since HSPL permenantly remove something from the phone .. and does it infract the warranty terms?
2) When it comes to Roms , i see a huge number of roms ... i dont want to try lots of Roms till i find the one i like , cuz i guess i will do something wrong eventually and screw up my device ... i really liked the htc hd mini UI .. i was wondering if there is a ROM ( official one for the touch hd ) which is similar to the touch HD's one?
3)Assuming that there isnt any official ROMS like the one described above , which cooked ROM got the same UI as the hd mini , with no custom fancy stuff , not too much tweaks and modifications ... just a simple smooth Rom with the HD's nice UI and could play divx movies with no frames loss
4) whats a manila , touchflo and htc sense ? i couldnt really understand the difference
5) as i understood .. Radios are responsible for communication tasks , like wifi , gps and so on ... and some radios may work better than others according to places... Well, i live in egypt... should i try all the radios to find a good one that works here? if so .. are radios installed after unlocking the spl and installing a rom?
6)I bet all those custom ROMS doesnt support arabic .. so i was wondering if there any app that enables the phone to read arabic .. just on the web and sms ... dont need an arabic keyboard and so on
7) I dont have an sd card atm? Can i still flash a ROM? are there any consequences of flashing a ROM without a memory card?
8) as mentioned in the Customizing TF3D - The Collection! thread.. there is a v3.0 manila ( thts the new one ) .. so are v2 and 2.5 meant by "old manila" .. and all of those themes work on winmo 6.1 and 6.5 and only limited by the manila version?
9) Whats a custom RUU ? task 32 and 28? do i need to use one before flashing?
Well, i guess thats it .. i know those are a lot of questions ..but i would really appreciate some answers
Thnx in advance

Unfortunately until you flash back to stock ROM you have no warranty. Looks like cheating.. I know...
About that if this will be safer... I have no idea... It is imo easier to flash ROMs with HSPL but choice is yours. Remember about one thing. If you starts flashing you cannot stop Thats why I used HSPL. Also I'm using Linux at my home computer so this is only way i can flash ROM.

Try those provided by kwbr (TOPIX ones). I'm using one atm for about 3 months. There are also other ROMs but tbh i didn't check all of them, which is obvious
Check XDA for playing videos on Blackstone cause there are some problems with playing full length videos on it. There is an app to change movies to "fit Blackstone"

ROMS are usually with radios but I can't answer your question. Some1 with better knowledge should do this.

With USPL I think you will be able to do this. I don't recommend but... Again some1 with better knowledge should answer.

Ver. 2.0 is an old manilla. Maybe ver. 2.1 can be also called the old one. Manilla 2.5 work only on WinMo from ver. 6.5 Window Mobile 6.1 can only run manilla 2.0. To be honest i'm not so sure If i understood correctly your question :/ Every theme for manila depends on manila version so you have to check theme thread for which version of manila it supports.

wp7 rom for hd2

Yesterday I have found on xda.cn a wm6.5 rom with wp7 interface and it seems very nice but there is no informations or instructions about it and I am not so brave to install it.So is there someone who have better informations about it and teach me how to upload this ROM ?
Thanks
ps. this is the link : http://bbs.xda.cn/forum-viewthread-t...a--page-1.html
this is the video :http://static.youku.com/v1.0.0136/v...bG9wZXJzLmNvbQIvc2hvd3RocmVhZC5waHA=&showAd=0
ps2. sorry for my english
name of file is: 1115_RUU_HD2_XDA-china_CHS_WP7.exe and is 167mb.
I'm just wondering too if there is some chef who can cook or extract the interface and put it on a wm6.5 wwe rom

Hello, Warrio, that rom is not real WP7 rom, it's just the WP7 UI with 6.5 rom.

Can't understand chinese so I can't help you with it, sorry.
If anyone can exract the UI so we can install it without flashing the device it'd be very nice.

Why don't you just use a real WP7 ROM? It's leaked and available, but even if you wait for the finished article I doubt you'll be waiting for very long.
It's very nice, by the way, but I've gone back to Android.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BL-Ts2D--8 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GS1DVB7G
first install the maglr 1.12 and then fresh install the wp7 =)
note: when u install, they will format all sdcard

Can I know if it is real? or not?
If yes it is great!!!!!!

Yes I think it is real!
Thanks DFT!!

They´re actually all "stable", "fast", and whatnot.
You´ll find some minor differences in graphics and language files, but that´s about it. The reason for this is that all those custom ROMs use the same basis.
Just take one of these from May/June, they´re "NoDo" ROMs, the older ones are the initial WP7 version without "copy/paste".

[Q] Daily use - which of the 1 Mio roms?

Hey,
I've got the HTC HD2 phone and want to flash a rom because with windows phone 6.5 I cannot download apps via the app store, since it has been disabled.
I want to flash a very stable rom for daily use. I'm ok with windows phone, but also with android.
Please give me a tip, which rom is really good and stable for daily use?
Thank you very much!

Best rom is NexusHD2-ICS by Tytung. I reach 5 days with the original HTC Expanded battery 2300mha. With the original 2 days. I got that Rom from 2012 and working like a sharm.
